Wildlife Rescue League

So I thought I would at least mention it. I worked a both for the WRL again! Im noticeing more and more that they never give me any of the good events. This was an earth day festvial at an elementary school and right behind me they had face painting and rock climbing walls...not fair. How am I supposed to get kids attention with all that fun stuff all around me? This was my official last event that i can do until baby comes!

Baby Belly Pictures!

So a little update on the baby. It is officially a boy (in case you didn't already know) and we FINALLY, after weeks of debate, chose a name. He will be called Ciro James LoBalbo. We picked Ciro because its about the only Italian name that isn't overused. We originally like Dominic and told everyone he would be named Dominic BUT then we find out that AJ has two cousins named Dominic and everyone I told was like "such a great name, so and so is named Dominic...". After that we went to Damion, Demetri, Dante, and then Darius. Finally we realized a new letter was in order and said "his name shall start with a C" and so it does. I checked on my bump.com site and I only have 98 days a pregnancy left....only.

Trip to the Zoo

So it seems like every time I take a class at NOVA they make me do a field trip to DC(on my own time) thats mandatory. So of coarse we took Ariana as a good way to get her out a learning a little bit more. Plus it wears her out so much that she takes nice long nap. Here are some cute pictures to share.

Easter Eggs

This is the first year Ariana has actually been really excited about Easter. I think after a long time explaining and reading Peter Cotton Tail like a million times, the whole Holiday has finally sunk in. So we started by dying easter eggs, and she loved it...and made a huge mess!

Say Cheese

New Grill!

The best purchase I ever made.

This guy has my dream job!!!

So I was watching this guy for like ten mins. The turtle (green I believe) lost his leg and was rehabilitated here. I want/need this as a job. Swimming around with sea turtles all day...yesssssss! Watch the guy feed the turtle the lettuce though....dangerously close to losing a finger!

Jess and Ari in house of bouce

Ha I found some cute pictures of Jess and Ari having a great time at house of bounce. In fact it was such a great time that she has a little bit of a breakdown when it was time to leave. Thought I would share the cuteness

New yeaIr with LOTS of new things!

So I haven't written in a while but 2011 has brought lots of new beginings.

First of all we are expecting baby #2! We find out its gender next monday. I kinda hope its a boy so that we can really wait on having baby #3, or maybe just stick with two. I do THINK its a boy but I keep having dreams that its a girl and looks just like Ariana and me. I guess we will see next Monday!

We FINALLY bought our new house. Im actually in the process of taking pictures to post but the whole place is so messy that I want to organize first. Also Im waiting for a really nice sunny day to take pictures. Hopefully that will be soon...or yesterday and I forgot.

Along with the new house came...the new dog!!! She is so cute. The lady told me she is a boxer/lab mix...the groomer said she had fur like a shar pei, and everyone else has told me she looks just like a pit. Whatever she is, she is really good with children, especially ari, which can be difficult. She is good with the cats...or afraid of the cats...whichever. And not so great with other dogs. Its like she wants to play with them so bad but she plays ruff, she is bossy and if they have food its all over!
